In the mid-price range, the Thomann 33 3/4 Europe Double Bass stands out thanks to its solid wood construction - an uncommon feature where laminated models typically dominate. For bowed instruments, solid wood is renowned for delivering superior resonance, enhanced dynamics, and a tone that evolves and matures over time. Handcrafted in Europe by luthiers steeped in traditional expertise, this instrument is designed with attention to every detail. In keeping with classic tonewood combinations, it features a solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides, and a durable ebony fingerboard.
The Thomann 33 3/4 Europe is inspired by double basses made in Saxony and Bohemia during the early 20th century. Its outline follows the viola da gamba shape typical of the region, with a flat back and purfling at the upper heel. The instrument is built entirely from solid tonewoods: Spruce for the soundboard, and maple for the back and sides. It features a 105cm scale length, corresponding to the widely used 3/4 size, and an ebony fingerboard that offers a smooth and robust playing surface. Each instrument is set up in the Thomann workshop, and string height adjustments can be requested. A set of versatile and durable strings is fitted as standard, making the instrument ready to play "out of the box".
The Thomann 33 3/4 Europe offers a refined and reliable option for advancing students and even seasoned players in need of a reliable second instrument. Its broad tonal capabilities suit a variety of styles – from pizzicato-driven Jazz and Bluegrass to Classical bowing techniques – with the choice and positioning of strings playing a key role in tonal character. Whether used for practice, lessons, or live performance, this double bass will deliver consistent quality and irreproachable playability.
Thomann-brand instruments, which are exclusively built by renowned manufacturers, now constitute a large part of Thomann’s product range alongside numerous big-name brands. With unbeatable price-performance ratios, Thomann string instruments are the obvious first choice for students and beginners – and others too. The technical features and uncompromising sound quality they offer are usually reserved for much more expensive instruments found in the professional market segment.
With its 3/4 format, the Thomann 33 3/4 Europe belongs to the adult-size double bass category and is generally suited to players around 1.70m and taller. For those of shorter stature, a smaller size is typically more comfortable. While the bass's compact body can accommodate smaller students when the spike is fully retracted, hand reach may be limited. As with all bowed string instruments, selecting the correct size is essential for comfort and technique, and when in doubt, opting for a slightly smaller model is often the better choice.
